Overview
Upgrade your Traxxas 2WD platform with the Hot Racing Black Aluminum 30° Multi-Mount Caster Blocks — a CNC-machined, anodized aluminum direct replacement for the fragile stock plastic caster blocks (Traxxas part #3632). Designed for the Nitro Slash, Rustler, Slash 2WD, and Stampede 2WD, these caster blocks retain the stock 30° caster angle for plug-and-play handling characteristics while delivering far greater rigidity and crash resistance.
The factory plastic caster blocks are a common failure point under hard cornering, big jumps, and the abuse of bashing. These aluminum blocks eliminate the flex that throws off front-end geometry mid-corner, resulting in tighter steering response, more consistent caster, and a front end that survives the punishment your driving demands.

- Stronger than stock plastic caster blocks

Usage Notes
Direct replacement for Traxxas stock plastic caster blocks (part #3632). Apply removable thread-locker on screws threading into aluminum components. Inspect and lightly grease the kingpins during installation for smooth steering action.
